I think Bruce should charge 100% commission for any poster that sell
for $9 or less, since that is his estimated cost of selling a poster.
Anyone who consigns a poster that sells for less than $3 should be
required to buy him lunch.
I think I owe him a free lunch.

Very interesting.
And it definitely fits the notion that there are tons of bargains
to be had even at Bruce’s site.
I think it’s amazing that despite Bruce’s begging for people to
stop sending him very inexpensive items (and having a consignment
rate to actively discourage it) still a full 30% of what he sold in
2008 was for under $10.
Based on the numbers given, I wouldn’t be surprised to see that 50%
of all his items actually sold for less than $20.
He’s already told us that he loses money (or at best breaks even)
on sub-$20 items, and some quick math from the numbers in his ad
show that for taking up 30% of the work, those less than $10
posters only bring in 3.6% of his revenues.
My hat is really off to him and his staff for all the hard work
they do to ensure prices remain so affordable for so many.

It seems that my latest Movie Collector's ad fits in this
